Ice cream is a popular treat in the spring/summer months, so its no surprise that a release like this from good ole’ KAWS will sell out… fast! This newest “Warm Regards” set from OriginalFake consists of a chocolate brown tee with the familiar X over the eyes, and a set of 3 vinyl ice cream bar toys. The tee goes for $79 and the toy tips the scales at $92. A pretty hefty price tag to say the least, but to each his own.

The next sneaker to get the spotlight from the LV x Kanye project is this hi-top version of a previously seen low-top sneaker. It was said that the low top version of this sneaker got some inspiration by a coat seen in “DUNE”, but these look more like a mash up of the Alien Stomper, Air Yeezy, & Reebok Freestyle Hi. Love em or hate em, Kanye is setting the tone for fashion in 09. Available soon…?

If living it this past year wasn’t enough for you, the folks at All Gone streetwear took on the monumental task of cataloging the best of street culture as they saw it in 2008. The encyclopedia (now in its third edition) documents almost 200 products and 96 brands complete with stories, anecdotes and interviews with the key players who comprised the street culture scene. The books come in two versions — the red book with white letters is printed on 700 copies, while only 300 copies of the red book with red letters are available. The hardcovers are available at select locations.

Shepard Fairey and Barack Obama seem inseparable these days. Here for example are two commemorative plates, limited to a run of 500, that feature America’s main man in true Fairey style… We’d suggest hitting Future Perfect now if you’re into collectable crockery.

A few weeks back, Kanye gave a sneak peak at one of the six shoes he designed for Louis Vuitton. Now, a more official image of another beautiful monochromatic model has been revealed. The red sneaker seen above is visually simple, but features a Dune-inspired quilted flap on the back, to allow for tucking in one’s jeans. These are sure to fly off the shelves, so be ready to endure long lines when they’re released at Louis Vuitton stores in June.

Happy inauguration day to everyone – especially to our friends in the States, as they have officially gotten themselves a new (and improved) President. And to welcome our the new president, Gama-Go has re-issued their token piece of Obama-gear: the Yeti-bama. Pumping a fist in triumph, the abominable snowman depicted is probably joyfully recounting some of the highlights of inauguration day: the Obama slip-up whilst being sworn in, the rousing speech that followed, and the confusing poem to cap it all off. Available in both yellow and gold, these shirts are available at the Gama-Go webstore.

Although we were starting to think that party pictures were getting played out (it’s difficult to justify rapidly pressing F5 on your laptop desperately looking for your dilated-pupiled visage on sharkvsbear while nursing the hangover shakes) artist Leah Tinari begs to differ. Tinari, who will be featured at NYC gallery Mixed Greens from February 12th ro March 14th, has chosen decidedly celebratory themes for her work. Using some of her personal party pics as the basis for her paintings and drawings, her work demonstrates a certain lifelike-yet-stylized exuberance. If you’re from NYC, don’t miss it!

I can empathize with this sad little fella. I really can. The aptly named Tuf-fluck Crappycat is looking a little down on his luck – perhaps the cold reality of a mangled grill and the last-beer blues is catching up to him. Dragging around a final can of faux-Pabst Blue Ribbon, this figure is equal part tragic and comic. Standing at 9″ tall, the detail on this vinyl figure is excellent; though it’s a shade on the bizarre end, it’s a fine compliment to any designer toy ethusiasts’ collection. Check an interactive video on the Crappycat’s story here, or hit up our friends at DKEToys for more information

In commemoration of their 2 year anniversary, designers Flying Coffin have collaborated with Manik Skateboards and Goods to release an limited-edition interlocking set of skateboard decks. A pastiche of some of the beautiful work that Flying Coffin has done over the years, there is surprising continuity from board to board, showcasing some of the amazing paintings they’ve released. Examining the collage more closely, there’s some truly exceptional work etched into these boards – note the dope Supersonics tribute and the slit wrist pieces. With 50 sets being released in conjunction with a shirt – featuring graphics further etched from the skateboard-collage – you can peep these decks at the Flying Coffin webstore.
